So this is something that should be discussed. Apparently there are multiple calcs for RWBY that have been accepted. As such, it should be determined which to use.
First Calc
The first calc happens at the end of Volume 7 when Oscar uses The Long Memory to blast through the bottom of Atlas. Here are the two calcs:
KLOL506's (8-B+)
SilentLyfe's (7-C)
Second Calc
The second calc involves calculating the KE of Monstra, the giant Grimm whale that Salem showed up with in Volume 8. Here are the two calcs:
SilentLyfe's (7-B)
Mapl3Sy4up's (High 7-C)
Now quick disclaimer, I'm not a calc guy. I'm terrible at it, which is why my blogs are merely re-blogging a calc someone else did from another site. As such, I will not be arguing which calc to use mathematically, I'll leave that to the calc members. Instead, I'll argue from a logical standpoint and how its consistent in the show.
For the Oscar feat, I'm fine with which ever is chosen. However, for the Monstra calc, it would cause issues in scaling if Mapl3Sy4up's was used. Currently Oz scales to Salem, who created Monstra using her magic and as such is 7-B. If Mapl3Sy4up's is used, although Salem would still be 7-B due to scaling to the Tempest instead, Oz would be unable to scale to Salem even though he is equal to her as shown in The Lost Fable when they had their battle. The reason for that is by doing so, the Maidens would then be Low 7-B, thus being stronger than The Long Memory, which is centuries stored energy and doesn't make sense at all from the show's perspective.
However, the current calc solves all those issues. The Long Memory is 7-B due to one shotting Monstra. As such, the Maidens are no longer stronger than it. Also, this means that the storm calc for Amber is no longer an outlier. Like the reasoning above, the reason why it was no longer used was because it made the Maidens stronger than The Long Memory. However, with the current Monstra calc, it can instead be used as a supporting feat.
Anyways, I'm about to head to work for my overnight shift soon so I probably won't be able to respond until tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Edit 1: After some deliberation between me and Acer, the two of us came to a compromise regarding the Monstra calc and had a new one made. Also as the first calc has more calc members in favour of KLOL’s, that one should be used and have such removed it from the OP.
Compromise: 10.81 MT (7-B)
